Surface temperature

'''Surface temperature''' is the temperature at a surface.

Specifically, it may refer to: * Near-surface air temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the Earth * Sea surface temperature, the temperature of water close to the ocean's surface * Global surface temperature, the combined global average of near-surface air temperature and sea surface temperature * Surface temperature of a star, often the effective temperature

==See also== * Instrumental temperature record, the historical record of in situ measurements of surface air and sea temperatures * Pyrometer, a device that remotely determines the temperature of a surface ** Infrared thermometer, a type of pyrometer
